Help Ariya Undergo A Liver Transplant

8- month-old baby Ariya needs an urgent liver transplant. She has been fighting a condition called Biliary Atresia, since she was 3 months old. She underwent a procedure called Kasai when she was 4 months old. But it was unsuccessful. Her liver has been completely damaged. Only curative option at the moment is a liver transplantation.

Her family has sold everything they had to save Ariya

Her family hails from Darjeeling. Her father, Amulya, has sold his restaurant, the only source of income to the family to treat Ariya. They sold their car and spent all the savings for various medical procedures. They came to Bengaluru with the last hope to saving their daughter.Ariya is admitted to Narayana Hrudalayaya and her liver transplantation is scheduled for next week. Ariya has been admitted to the hospital for the last 10 days. Her father has come here borrowing some money but that was spent for the tests and hospitalisation.

Her father is found suitable to donate a portion of his liver. He underwent tests and is fit for the surgery.

Dear All,

We have an update to share. As donors interest and feedback is of utmost importance to us and since a number of donors like you, have written in requesting their funds donated/raised to be transferred to Amulya's family. We have done just the same. Milaap has transferred an amount of Rs 2.85 Lakhs to Ariya's family and has generously waived off the fee as well. This was done in consultation and consent with the parents as well as the hospital (the campaign organizer in this case).

We also have identified a little girl in need of a liver transplant. Her name is Benakashree and she is 5-months old. Shilpa and Suresh are from a village near Shimoga where Suresh works as an accountant. They were comfortable enough to start a family and could not conceal their joy when their daughter Benakashree was born. However, baby Benaka has Biliary Atresia. Her bile ducts are blocked due to which her liver is failing, and it is hardly functioning at this point. So far, she has been on medical management, but time's running out to save her. The transplant needs to happen by the end of June and they are waiting in on raising funds.

Mr.Amulya (Ariya's father) has spoken to Mr.Suresh and has given us a consent to transfer Ariya's remaining funds to Benakashree in the name of Ariya's Memorial fund. An amount of 7,934.42$ (Rs 507,087.47) has been mapped to Benaka's campaign page here- https://milaap.org/fundraisers/help-benakashree. Please do refer to the campaign page for further information.

Donors, let us keep Ariya in our prayers and bless Benakashree to help her fight this disease.

Thank you all for all the love and support shown in such hard times for both the families.
